South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting - September 6, 1996
Mrs. Kolata asked permission to add three
items to the agenda. There were no
objections and items 6.v., 6.w. and 6.x. were
added to the agenda.
5. OLD BUSINESS
a. Commission approval requested for
Resolution No. 1450 approving an
application for personal property tag
deduction for property located at
3333 West Lathrop Street. (Total
Enterprises, LTD)
Mr. Beitzinger gave the report on the
project. Total Enterprises manufactures
tooling primarily for use in the
automotive and office furniture
industries. They operate from a
customer print through their CAD /CAM
CW system to produce a pattern from which
an aluminum cast is made. These
castings are then machined and
assembled into a finished operating tool.
Such products as office and automotive
seats, arm rests, head rests, fire walls,
floor pans and head liners are made from
the tools. The project calls for the
purchase of one Partner CNC Bridge
Type Machine, one 10,000# Linde -
Baker Lift Truck, one Jason Time
project time tracking software package,
one EDM Workstation, one
reconditioned Easco Model B EDM
Machine and one toshiba 2550 Copier.
Total Enterprises has indicated that the
new equipment is necessary to produce
larger tooling more competitively. The
total estimated cost of the new
equipment is $241,879. Per the
petition, it is estimated that this project

ITEMS 6.V., 6.W., AND 6.X. WERE ADDED TO THE
AGENDA

will create six (6) new permanent full -
time jobs within the first year,
representing an annual payroll of
$167,450 and will maintain forty seven
(47) full -time and part-time jobs,
representing an annual payroll of
$1,400,000.00
A review of the tax abatements
previously granted finds that Total
Enterprises has not been granted any
previous tax abatement consideration.
The Building Commissioner has
reviewed the petition and finds the
property to be properly zoned for the
proposed use. A review of the tax
abatement designation areas finds that
the property is not located in an area
presently designated as a Tax Abatement
Impact Area nor is it located in the
Economic Development Target Area. A
review of the Redevelopment
designation areas finds that the property
is located in the Airport Economic
Development Area, which is a Tax
Incremental Allocation Area, therefore,
the petition first requires the approval of
the South Bend Redevelopment
Commission. A review of the Tax
Abatement Ordinance finds that Total
Enterprises, Inc. meets the qualifications
for a five (5) year personal property tax
abatement.
Using the estimated project cost of
$241,879 the taxes expected to be
c

generated by the proposed project
without abatement will be approximately
$21,917. With a ten year abatement, the
amount abated will be approximately
$18,031. The taxes generated with the
abatement will be approximately $3,886.
b. Commission consideration of request
to occupy space in the Palais Royale
building on a temporary basis.
Mrs. Kolata noted that this request is
from the Notre Dame University
graduate students in Art. Mrs. Manier
drafted an agreement which the students
are reviewing.
Mrs. Kolata asked permission to table ITEM S.B. WAS TABLED
item 5.b. to give the students time to
review the agreement. There were no
objections and item 5.b. was tabled.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Receipt of bids on Parcel M19 -1,
M19 -5, M19 -6 located at 602 S.
Michigan Street in the South Bend
Central Development Area.
(Dreisbach Building)
Mrs. Kolata noted that the staff has
received two bids. Mrs. Kolata opened
the first bid and read portions of it. The
first proposal is from SSP Properties, an
Indiana Partnership out of Anderson,
Indiana. The proposal is for parcels A,
B and C and is in the amount of
IL -6-
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting - September 6, 1996
6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.)
a. continued....
$150,000. SSP Properties proposes to
construct a 15,000 sf., all brick or brick
and stone trim, single -story building
mainly for ADA requirements. The
lessor will be the General Services
Administration who will lease the site for
South Bend Social Security
Administration Offices. SSP Properties
is in preliminary negotiations with
another government agency for a 12,000
to 14,000 sf masonry building on the
same site. The second building requires
the tenant to be located on the second
floor. The developer has successfully
bid and built for the federal government
in three Indiana cities. In two of these
three cities SSP Properties were
solicited to bid and replace their facilities
and did so successfully. SSP Properties
has been solicited to come to Hammond,
Michigan City, South Bend, Evansville,
and Indianapolis. Their track record for
bidding and number ten rating for
management makes this attractive for
GSA Offices. SSP Properties has been
asked to go to Canton, Ohio and Akron,
Ohio to build a 150,000 to 235,000 sf
building and a secure 150,000 sf. garage.
SSP Properties enclosed a site plan of
their current GSA project in Muncie,
Indiana. Cad drawings and disks for the
South Bend proposed project will be
available after acceptance and prior to
formal bidding of construction. This
proposal for $150,000 cash at closing is
contingent upon successful bidding of
GSA contract, survey, title insurance,

seller's removal of all structures and
accceptable EPA reports. SSP
Properties enclosed a check for $15,000
as the performance grantee.
Mrs. Kolata opended the second bid and
noted that it was for all three portions of
the property (Parcels A, B and C) in the
amount of $5,000. The performance
grantee of $500.00 was enclosed. The
applicant is BCP Partnership from
Mishawaka, Indiana. The partnership
has been formed for this project but has
no financial statement at this time. BCP
Partnership proposes to renovate the
existing structure and parking lot. The
parking lot will be cleaned up, repaired,
and re- surfaced where necessary. Curb
cuts on Michigan Street will be
improved and accented with trees in a
small grassy area. Existing lighting will
be repaired, clean up of the parking area
and exterior of the building will be of
high priority. The building will be
completely renovated for light
manufacturing, office commercial and
service commercial. BCP Partnership
enclosed renderings of the exterior
renovation proposals. BCP Partnership
plans on a high quality exterior
rehabilitation on all sides of the building,
along with keeping as much of the
integrity of the building as possible.
BCP Partnership enclosed drawings that
show the interior of the building. They
currently have a light manufacturing
business that will occupy the rear 13,000

sf. for manufacturing, and the front
4,000 sf of the second floor for their
offices. The basement will consist of
the records storage business that will be
equipped with fire protection. The
remainder of the second floor will be
used for specialty temperature control
storage. The front 7,000 sf of the first
floor facing Michigan Street will be
divided into four, five or six leasable
spaces. BCP Partnership presently has
an organization that will lease 2,500 sf.
Parcel B, which is south of the main
building will be used for additional
parking and future development. BCP
Partnership objects to some of the bid
specifications regarding Parcel C; they
feel that this portion of the property is
the most important. This portion would
create income while the other parcels are
developing. BCP Partnership proposes
to construct mini- warehouse storage
units on this parcel. They would
construct four buildings in two phases,
the total amount would be a little over
20,000 sf. The proposed project cost is
estimated at approximately $380,000
plus the mini- warehouse storage units
would make the total cost approximately
$740,000.
Mrs. Kolata recommended the staff
review the bids and return to the
Commission with a report at a later date.

Mr. Donoho asked a question regarding
GSA's time table for the proposed
project.
Mr. Doolittle stated that he is
representing SSP Properties. He said
that the GSA plans to complete the
selection process by the end of 1996. If
GSA should need additional time, Mr.
Doolittle asked that the Commission
consider SSP Properties putting up a
non - refundable risk of $5,000 for an
additional sixty days.
Mrs. Kolata stated that she talked with
one of GSA's representatives two weeks
ago and at that time they were still
preparing information and had not yet
sent out a Request for Proposals.
They've sent their representatives into
the community to look at the market to
see what is available to them. GSA is
waiting for a report from the Social
Security Administration at which point
they would be able to put out their
Request for Proposals.
Mr. Doolittle stated that he met with
GSA's representatives at the site and the
informal report is that the location at
602 S. Michigan Street is the preferred
site.
Mrs. Auburn noted that the bids will be
referred to the staff for a report to be
submitted at a later date.

Mrs. Kolata noted that neither of the
two bids for the property located at 602
S. Michigan Street meet the minimum
offering price.
b. Receipt of bids on 505 W. Washington
in the West Washington Chapin
Development Area.
Mrs. Kolata noted that the first bid is in
the amount of $13,500. Enclosed in the
proposal was a check for the 10%
performance guarantee from Dennis J.
Emery at 501 W. Washington. His
proposal is to purchase the property and
improve it with proper paving and
landscaping for the use by residents living
in the adjacent thirty -nine unit property
that Mr. Emery has owned for more than
twenty -four years located at 501 W.
Washington. Mr. Emery has submitted a
paving estimate from Asphalt Engineers
and a landscaping plan from Landscaping
Unlimited showing some trees and
planting areas between the sidewalk and
the parking lot.
Mr. Donoho asked what was the
minimum purchase price for the lot.
Mrs. Kolata responded that the minimum
price is $12,000.
Mrs. Kolata noted that the other bid for
the property at 505 W. Washington is
from Lex Investments, Inc. at 509 W.
Washington. Enclosed was an offer in the
-11-
South Bend Redevelopment Commission

b. continued....
amount of $16,500 for the property. Lex
Investments, Inc. included in their
proposal a site plan that was prepared by
Joe Dzierla & Associates Architects. Lex
Investment, Inc. intends to use the site as
a parking lot integrated with and
complementing the present use of 509 W.
Washington. The advantage of this
proposal is that the parking lot will only
be used during the day. The parking
pattern is low density and there is no curb
cut requested. Lex Investment, Inc. has a
financing commitment from Valley
American Bank. They intend to complete
the project four to six weeks after
acquiring the title. There was also a
check in the amount of $2,000 that is
slightly more than the 10% required for
the performance guarantee.
Mr. Emery stated that his building is
located at 501 W. Washington and has
been there since 1910. It is a downtown
residence and has no parking lot except
for the four residential spaces that the
City provided.
Mrs. Auburn asked Mr. Emery if most of
his residents work during the day so that
their parking needs would be mostly at
night. Mr. Emery stated that most of his
residents are retired and have cars and
some of the residents are on social
security and disability that have cars and
drive.
Mr. Jim Knepp from Lex Investments,
C -12-
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting - September 6, 1996
6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.)
b. continued....
Inc. stated that Lex Investments, Inc.
owns the building located at 509 W.
Washington. They have been interested in
demolishing the building that previously
was on this property for years and would
like to adquire the lot for low- density use.
They serve elderly clients who appreciate
the idea of a one story building. They
have made a substantial investment
totaling approximately $340,000 in their
present site. Lex Investments, Inc.
anticipates at the time of completion of
the parking lot they will have invested
over $30,000 to $35,000 into the project.
They appreciate the idea of the
requirements of the City with landscaping
recognizing that they are not in a parking
environment. They would like to
contribute to the greenspace objective.
Lex Investments, Inc. would integrate the
parking lot into the present existing curb
cut reducing the likelihood of any
accidents in that area because of the
proximity of the lot itself to the
intersection of Washington and Williams
Street.
Mrs. Auburn asked Mr. Knepp if they
have any parking spaces at all with their
current site?
Mr. Knepp stated that they have parking
behind the building that is occupied by
their staff.
Mrs. Auburn asked how many spaces they
have.
C; -13-

b. continued....
Mr. Knepp responded that there are
twelve spaces.
Mrs. Kolata asked if either Lex
Investments, Inc. or Mr. Emery have
determined how many spaces can go into
the parking lot.
Mr. Knepp stated that they had the
parking lot designed for sixteen parking
spaces which was the maximum density
and chose to reduce it to nine. The
sixteen was based upon the integration of
the lot and their driveway. They've asked
their architect to use a low- density pattern
which results in nine spaces.
Mrs. Aubun asked how many spaces were
in Mr. Emery's design.
Mr. Emery responded that the Asphalt
Engineers indicated to him that the City
would inform him of how many spaces
would be required.
Mrs. Auburn noted that the bids will be
referred to staff for review and report to
the Commission at a later date.
c. Public Hearing on Resolution No. 1452,
a supplemental appropriation of the
City of South Bend Redevelopment
Commission. (Sample -Ewing

Mrs. Kolata noted that the Legal Notice
of public hearing were published in the

Tri- County News and the South Bend
Tribune on August 23, 1996. Resolution
No. 1452 states the Commission's intent
to appropriate $339,680. Resolution
No. 1451 was adopted on August 16,
1996 stated the Commission's intent to
appropriate a larger amount. Resolution
No. 1452 reduces that amount to
$339,680. It appropriates money used for
projects in the Sample -Ewing
Development Area primarily for the
construction of the new boulevard to go
between Ivy Tech and the Parkview
Juvenuile Justice Center.
Mrs. Auburn opened the Public Hearing
for anyone who wished to speak. There
was no one who wished to speak
concerning Resolution No. 1452. Mrs.
Auburn closed the Public Hearing for
whatever action the Commission wished
to take.

deduction for property located at 2424
Foundation Drive in the Airport
Economic Development Area. ( Nimet
Industries, Inc.)
Mike Beitzinger gave the staff report.
Nimet Industries is in the industrial
coatings business servicing high -end users
of industrially coated products. Nimet
applies various coatings to machinery and
equipment to enable products to perform
at high tolerances in extremely adverse
conditions. Their project calls for the
building of a 24,000 square foot addition
to the facility on Foundation Drive at a
cost of $1,000,000, and will add new
manufacturing equipment at a cost of
$750,000 bringing the total project cost to
$1,750,000. Per the petition, it is
estimated that this project will create nine
(9) new permanent full -time jobs within
the first year, representing an annual
payroll of $190,000 and will maintain
seventy (70) permanent full -time and five
(5) permanent part-time jobs, representing
an annual payroll of $1,500,000.
A review of the tax abatements previously
granted finds that Nimet Industries has
been granted two previous tax
abatements. The first, a three year real
property abatement granted in 1990, and
the second, a five year personal property
abatement granted in 1992. Nimet
Industries is in compliance with the
reporting requirements for the previous
abatements. The building commissioner
IL -16-
South Bend Redevelopment Commission

has reviewed the petitions and finds the
property to be properly zoned for the
proposed use. A review of the
Redevelopment designation areas finds
that the property is located in the Airport
Economic Development Area, which is a
Tax Incremental Allocation Area,
therefore, the petitions first require the
approval of the South Bend
Redevelopment Commission. A review of
the tax abatement finds that Nimet
Industuries, Inc. meets the qualifications
for a six (6) year real property tax
abatement and meets the qualifications for
a five (5) year personal property tax
abatement.
A review of the cost of the tax abatement
using an estimated project cost of
$1,000,000 shows the estimated amount
of taxes generated is approximately
$280,242. The estimated amount to be
abated is over six years is approximately
$164,409. Taxes generated under the
real property tax abatement are
approximately $115,833.
Review of the five year personal property
abatement schedule with an estimated
equipment cost of $750,000 results in
taxes over five years is approximately
$670,959. The estimated amount abated
over five years is approximately $55,909.
The taxes generated with the abatement
are approximately $12,050.

finds this to be acceptable due to the fact
that Office Interiors might come back for

month. The staff recommends that the
Commission approve the two year
extension.
